Know your name, address, and phone number. Also know the phone number of another trusted adult
Use the buddy system – always try to walk with at least one friend.
Trust your instincts – if you feel you are being followed or if something does not feel right, go to a safe place immediately.
If a stranger approaches you, do not speak to him or her. Never approach a stranger in a vehicle. Just keep walking, preferably in the opposite direction to the way the car is facing.
Do not accept sweets or any other items from a stranger. Never, ever walk off with a stranger no matter what he or she tells you.
If someone is following you in a car, try to remember the license plate of his or her vehicle and immediately tell a trusted adult.
If a stranger grabs you, do everything you can to stop him or her from pulling you away or dragging you into his or her car. Drop to the ground, kick, hit, bite, and scream.
Do anything to attract the attention of others who can help you. If someone is dragging you away, scream, "this is not my dad," or "this is not my mom."

How paper is made
You must have fibre
For centuries, paper has been made from a wide variety of materials - wood pulp, rice, water plants, cotton, even old clothes! But no matter what you use to make paper, you need fibre. Today's paper fibre comes mainly from two sources - pulpwood logs and recycled paper products. In fact, much of the paper we use every day is a blend of new and recycled fibre.
From log to pulp
Much of the paper produced is made from waste products. The tree parts from logging and sawmill operations that are too small or are unsuitable be made into lumber. After felling, trees are cut into logs and are transported to the mill. At the mill, a debarker removes the bark from each log. The log is cut into boards of various sizes. The wood that's left over is then converted into small wood chips, about the size of corn flakes.
The wood chips are then put into ‘pulp digesters’ where they are broken down by steam and chemicals into a gooey mixture of fibres and other wood parts. In another process, the chemicals, wood resins, and wood lignin (a sort of natural glue in the wood) are removed. The fibres are cleaned and screened many times to get them ready to be made into paper.
